For automatic wash+dry programmes, theref ore, the dry ing temperature depends on which washing pro-
gramme is selected.
The washing must hav e been prev iously washed and spun bef ore a dry -only programme can be per-
f ormed.
When dry ing particularly f luffy items such as new terry towels, the "Rinse" program should be carried out
to ensure that any deposits left by the f abric are removed, and are not deposited on the clothes in the
next wash.
Important – Do not dry fabrics that cannot withstand temperatures of 60°C or in any case fabrics that cannot

6.1.2 EXTRA DRYING
If the washing is still too wet when the programme finishes, set a brief timed drying cycle.
Caution!: do not dry garments too much as they may crease or shrink.
6.2 WASH-ONLY PROGRAMMES
Follow the instructions contained in chapter 5 – Washing instructions, taking care to set dry ing time to 0 with the
Select programme and drying time button (see chapter 4 – Description of controls, letter I).
6.3 WASH+DRY PROGRAMMES
Washing and dry ing programmes can be automatically performed with intensiv e cycles (cottons, coloureds) and
synthetics/delicates cycles. For the latter, only delicate dry ing is allowed (dry ing at 60°C, identified by the LED with
the “-” sign), while f or cotton and coloured garments, both the delicate dry ing programme (dry ing at 60°C, “-”) and
the intensiv e drying programme (drying at 90°C, “
+
”) are allowed. If a wool washing programme is selected, auto-
matic dry ing is not possible after washing.
To wash and dry automatically, a load of washing weighing no more than 2.5 kg of cotton or 1.5 kg of synthet-
ics should be used.
Therefore, if the load to wash and dry exceeds the above quantities, an automatic washing programme should not
be set and, at the end, the load will have to be div ided in half and dry ing done in two steps.
To set an automatic wash+dry programme, proceed as f ollows:
1. Select the washing programme as shown in paragraph 5.9;
2. Select the required spin speed as shown in paragraph 5.10.1;
3. Press the select dry ing programmes and dry ing times button (
). The LED over the button lights up as
does the delicate dry ing times LED (“-”). The display shows the time (hours/minutes) set f or the selected
dry ing programme. Initially, the time is equal to 0h 0’ for all programmes.
4. Press the select button ( ) repeatedly, the dry ing time (hours/minutes) starts f rom 0 hours 20 minutes
and increases by 10 minutes every time the button is pressed, up to a maximum of 2 hours. Press the
button again, the time starts again f rom 0h 0minutes and the LED switches f rom delicate drying (-
)
to in-
tensiv e dry ing (+
)
or v ice-v ersa. Press the button again to increase by 10 minutes and so on up to 2
hours. Switching f rom intensiv e (
+
) to delicate (
-
) dry ing or v ice-v ersa can also be achieved by holding
down the button for at least 4 seconds.
